Decomposition of $$ \mathcal{N} $$ = 1 superconformal minimal models and their fractional quantum Hall wavefunctions
Abstract
A bstract $$ \mathcal{N} $$ N = 1 superconformal minimal models are the first series of unitary conformal field theories (CFTs) extending beyond Virasoro algebra. Using coset constructions, we characterize CFTs in $$ \mathcal{N} $$ N = 1 superconformal minimal models using combinations of a parafermion theory, an Ising theory and a free boson theory. Supercurrent operators in the original theory also becomes sums of operators from each constituent theory. If we take our $$ \mathcal{N} $$ N = 1 superconformal theories as the neutral part of the edge theory of a fractional quantum Hall state, we present a systematic way of calculating its ground state wavefunction using free field methods. Each ground state wavefunction is known previously as a sum of polynomials with distinct clustering behaviours. Based on our decomposition, we find explicit expressions for each summand polynomial. A brief generalization to S 3 minimal models using coset construction is also included.
